Chapter4:Greed
"Sin,are you ready?" "Sure."He positioned himself at the starting line."Ready,
set,GO!"Sin seemed to change.His skin became black and shiny.But his face was the
biggest change.His eyes became narrow slits of red,with yellow pupils.His nose flatened,
and all his teeth became exposed.Two lines of red went down his face,one for each eye.
He casually began walking through the course.The robots with lasers appeared and began shooting,but their shot had no affect.Sin counted the number of robots.Five.
Perfect,he thought.Sin held up his hand.His finger became the knike-like projections.and his fingernails shot out at the robots.Each of his fingernails hit their targets.As he retracted his fingernails,Sin noticed the rumblings from the fist that were going to come
out.He quickly changed into liquid,but retained his shape.When the fist started coming
out of the ground,he snaked through it at lightning speed.When Sin came to the disk
launcher, he clapped his hands together and slammed them onto it.It was replaced by
a chibi Sin. The Teen Titans were standing google-eyed at chibi Sin,wondering how he
did it.But Sin didn't take notice.When he came to the gates,Sin stopped and held out his
finger-tips.The result was three throughly sliced gates.Sin became normal again as he
sauntered to the finish line.He didn't brake any major records,except for ruining the
course.The Titans hadn't seen it so throughly ruined since Terra. The rest of the team
preformed normally,except there that there wasn't any disks of doom.Merely a cute
statue of an unholy terror.
When they were through,Raven pulled Sin aside."How were you able to preform alchemy?(1.You're a homunculus,and(2.You said yourself that alchemy wasn't
possible on this side of your so-called gate." Sin pondered this question for a moment,
then said,"One of the sins,Wrath,got one of his limbs from a failed human transmutation,
which homunculi are created from,attempted by a human named Edward." "That would
explain your being to be able to use it,but on this side of the gate?" Sin looked flustered.
"Please don't interrupt again.I guess I can use alchemy because I was created in the middle of the gate.That's all I have." Raven nodded."I'm sorry,but I consider myself an
expert on ancient sorcery.I was very curious.Would you like some tea?"Sin smiled inwardly and outwardly."Yes,I would like some."The two teens walked in silence until
they came to the doors of the tower."Oh,and Raven?" Raven turned,"Yes." Sin smiled.
"Alchemy is an ancient pseudoscience." Raven blushed veeerrrry slightly."Oh,is that
all you had to say."she asked,trying to hide the blush.After the exchange,they went inside
to some some inquisitive glances.Finally,Beast Boy couldn't help himself."So,have you to
been getting to know each other?"said the green changeling."You're minds definitly in the
gutter."said Raven,without any emotion whatsoever.Beast Boy snikered.Sin glanced at
Robin."Go ahead."Before Beast Boy could react,Sin was behind him with one of his infamous finger lances at his throat."Ever wondered what a frightned green teen looked like on the inside?"said Sin,far to cheerily.Beast Boy fainted and Robin and Cyborg ran
to get their cameras."Ahahahahaha.Sorry Beast Boy,but I couldn't resist." The whole
room was filled with laughter and snapshots.The poor abused changeling awoke two
hours later.Sin was sitting on the couch with others,watching Cyborg and Robin duke
it out on the gamestation.Sin noticed and showed Beast Boy the sharp fingernail again,
and again,the changeling dead away.Robin and Cyborg,"Wahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Seriously,Sin,I've never seen Beast boy faint that way before.He's never gonna live it
down." Raven simply rolled her eyes.Starfire,however,had some concern."Friend,Beast
Boy?Are you okay."Starfire began gently smacking his face."AHHHHHHHH!!!Sharp,pointy
things!!!!!!!" All,"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" Beast Boy turned several different shades of red,not an easy task for someone who's green."Yea,yea,laugh it up.I'll get you
all one day."
Just then,Sin doubled over again.They all recognized what was happening.Robin
took quick action."Raven,contain him.Shackle his arms and legs with your dark energy.
I'll,"BAM!Robin crashed into a wall."Ugh,what happedned."The instant he asked
the question,he saw the answer.A muscular man wearing all black leather,save a regular
leather fur collar jacket with it sleeves cut off,was standing in front of the boy wonder.His hair looked just as sharp as his teeth.
"I can't let you do that.You shouldn't do that to new people."he said,grinning madly.Starfire
asked in a authorative tone,"Who are you?Where is friend Sin?" The new homunculus
chuckled."The name is Greed,and I live up to my name."Robin threw a birdarang that froze on impact.It caught Greed by surprise,but he shrugged it off.His skin became dark and shiny,and his face became very similar to what Sin's looked like during the training
exercise.Greed flexed his muscules,and the ice instantly shattered.He charged forward
at Robin with claw like hands.Robin ducked,just ducking Greed's assault.Instead,Greed's claws stuck in the wall.The homunculus looked at it for a few seconds,then pulled it out along with a good-sized chunk of wall.Greed made another
lunge,but was caught in mid-air by black restraints."I've got him.Robin,lead the way."
The trip to the basement was filled with yelling,curses,snd obscenities,mostly from
Greed.He was held in the middle of the forcefield generater circle,still in Raven's custody.
"Let me GO!I'm the greedy Greed.Let me go you $()#!" "Wow,you know a lot of
bad language.But you'll have plenty of time to cuss in the forcefield."Raven threw a book
she was holding at him."That's for later."Robin pushed the button,and a familiar humming
sound was heard.The rest of the night went by without incident.
Robin went down to the basment the next morning,and found Sin with his nose
in a book."Hey,you ready to get out of their?"Sin looked up.startled to see someone."Oh,um,yes,yes I am." Then he saw the bruise on Robin's cheek."Oh.about what Greed did,I'm terribly sorry." Robin looked puzzeled."You know what goes on when your a different person?" Sin quickly replied,"Yup.Although I have no control over what they do." Robin shrugged,"Come on.Everyone's worried.Even Raven." Hmmm,Raven.
Maybe she could help me.The thought made him blush.Huh?Why does Raven make me feel this way?What a strange sensation.He hurried behind.He couldn't wait to see
Raven and he couldn't understand why.
